Klass99:as you so eloquently put it, its been a steady rapid decline from the internet ( eroded their core values and made people insular and introverted and antisocial ) to mass immigration to heavy commercialization to brexit to covid and then the BRICS nations steering the global economy away from the west to finally the Ukraine war. i personally believe that anyone going there now is integrating into a burning house . its like you are going to fall with britain. like how the bible says whomever is joined unto them will fall with them 11 Likes 1 Share |

sukkot: I like Phrankleen, I follow and listen to him for about two years now, and he always speaks fact, although those that have sworn that the good life can only be gotten in the west may not like him. Phrankllen is British, has lived in the UK for donkey years, and gives genuine advice, but still many will see him as an enemy of progress until they enter the soup themselves. I am not sure if many of the homeless people I saw in the UK were Nigerians/African immigrants, but my impression of the Uk is that it's a difficult place for immigrants, everything is so damn expensive, and your houses are so small. Especially in London where three/four people will squeeze themselves in flats where only one/two person max will live in places like Sweden. 26 Likes 8 Shares |

pansophist:yeah phrankleen is a top guy. a great cook too. i started watching him when he ran a food channel. i was learning how to cook. that guy can cook. then he discovered he got the gift of the gab and then transitioned to making these informative videos. yeah the UK has always been a tough place to live because its just a tiny island and so real estate is prime. it was always tough but its getting much much more tougher now and as you rightly said especially if you are a visible minority. a few will break through the glass ceiling but many will be caught and mired in the underbelly of british stagnation and poverty. 22 Likes 5 Shares |

sukkot: The UK as well as Belgium (and to some extent France) are the countries I went to and felt sorry for them, like seriously. I will get angry if I see more white/Asian/Arab faces in Nigeria than black faces. For example in Antwerp, there are more Arab-looking people than white Belgians. Brussels and Liege are mixed of people from everywhere, especially Africans and middle-eastern. Belgium is really small and densely populated with 12M people (Niger state is bigger than Belgium at least twice), so the demographic changes are very visible. Also with the UK. The foreign faces in major cities are so much, and many of these immigrants don't speak English, and perhaps, looks like they won't integrate. I ordered food with uber eats twice in London, and the guys that brought my food with a bike don't speak English. I feel like the UK has committed social suicide. With the way immigration is going, whites will be a minority within the century if caution is not taken. And the UK doesn't have land, which makes it worse. It is too small of a place, from the roads to the houses, and parks. A little wonder they annexed Northern Ireland, and don't want to return it lol. 44 Likes 12 Shares |

MissLAP: 100M of 1B is 10%. That is too generous. What they took can not be counted only in the form of materials (cash, resources, artifacts, etc), but culture, loss of dignity, blood and life, and uncountable intangibles. 26 Likes 8 Shares |

The essence of this thread is something I've noticed among the upper class in Nigeria - they don't want other Nigerians to make it out to the UK, USA or other developed countries or they generally don't want other Nigerians to be prosperous. Talking to some of them, you can tell they would prohibit Nigerians from migrating if they could. The UK of today is as enjoyable as any other era. I know a few fresh doctors and nurses and also students and lower class workers who have made a higher standard of living for themselves than they would ever have in Nigeria. Some of them even work illegally. Warren Buffett has said it plenty times and I know by experience, there's nothing that a rich man can enjoy in the West that a poor man can't get except private jet. So this is what it has come to. � No wonder Nigeria is the way it is. 56 Likes 4 Shares |

pansophist: So, why have you not returned to Nigeria or relocated to a black-dominated country? Na this hypocrisy dey vex me. Person go siddon for abroad dey say "no place like home", "being around blacks is better", "don't come to the abroad", "abroad is lonely" yen yen yen. OK, return back to Nigeria or even Namibia? Mbanu! If you were in, say Botswana, one would say he is practising what he preaches but nooooooooo. You are in Europe!!!!!!!!! Were you not the one complaining that Namibia is too poor for your business to thrive? Don't you want to be around people who look like you? BTW, have you not seen the level of tribalism being displayed by the so-called people who look like you? Check the front page and TwitterNG to see the love and light shared amongst people who look like you . Also, this racism you people whine about is tiring at this point, considering you are in a prosperous place, whereas your so-called home is the world's poverty capital! The worst form of discrimination is when people who look like tell you to go back to your state whereas both persons are citizens of the country with the highest number of poor people in the world! I would rather have the Mayor of Tokyo tell me to leave Tokyo and return to Nigeria than stay in Lagos and have Obafemi Hamzat tell me to return to my state. Let someone who is rich tell me to leave his place than a fellow poor person do the same. Until most of you in this section understand that simple economics dictate people's moves, you will keep creating mumbo-jumbo threads upandown. I recall a thread a black Brit lady did on Twitter whining about racism in the UK and looking for countries where blacks are not racially discriminated. Almost all of the suggestions were white dominated countries! No black person mentioned a black-dominated country for this lady and others who might be interested in moving to. Those who suggested African countries were white men obviously mocking blacks for not having a functioning and prosperous country to call theirs. So you see?! People would always put their economic interests FIRST when making a decision. Again, if the abroad don tire una, book the next available flight to anywhere that is black-dominated, and while at that, let go of your Canadian/British/American/European citizenship. 74 Likes 10 Shares |

Very interesting thread. Having first hand experience about the UK from interactions with UK citizens on Twitter and the amount of their struggles and complaints(Nurses are even going on strike right now,same as railway workers) has been making me ask the question.. Why the hell are Nigerians still trooping to the UK with all these UK economic and financial crisis? It is well sha. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

sokeril: What is an economic crisis to westerners is not the same to black Africans. Notwithstanding the economic woes, there are more jobs advertised on UK's LinkedIn than Nigeria's own. Apart from Nigeria and South Africa, I seriously doubt you would see recent jobs in other sub-Saharan African LinkedIns (assuming they it o). Ethiopia, some people were applauding, does not have one. In Bostwana, the most recent job posting is three weeks old. African countries populate the world's unemployment rankings.
